SOATP Shop Setup Walkthrough

You should receive an email from soatpinfo@gmail.com with an invite to your shop. You will need to accept the invite. Once accepted, we will be able to go in and give you admin rights to your shop. If you already have a blog with blogger, you will see your new shop when you log in and you can access it right there with your personal blog if you have one.

STEP 1 - Fill in the blanks

Log into blogger. Once you are logged in, you should see your shop. you will first need to click on "Layout". On the left side of the screen you will see "artist links" about the artists, mailing list, etc.

You will need to fill out the "About the artist", Payment Options and shipping terms. All you will need to do for each is click on "edit" and type your information in the box provided then click "save".

STEP 2 - Post an item for sale

To post an item for sale, Click on the "posting" button. This will open up a new post.

For the title, type in the item you are selling. In the box provided is where you will type the information about your product for sale.

Add photos first then add your description. To add a photo, click on the little square box above the box you type in that looks like a tiny landscape picture. it will open a box and let you browse your computer to find your photos.

After photos are added, type the description of your product. Be sure to type in the price of the item at the end also. Once your photos and description are finished, copy the purchase code i sent in the previous email and paste it at the end of your description. click on "publish post" and your item will be finished.

STEP 3 - New post for each item

Please be sure to make a seperate post for each item you are selling (unless you have multiples of the same item). This makes it much easier to edit.

STEP 4 - What to do when your item sells

If your item sells, you can click on "edit posts" and find the post with the item you sold. click on "edit" and delete the purchase code at the bottom of the description. add a new photo using the button at the top (you will find the "sold" button) and insert it into your post. it will show at the top and you will just need to drag it to the bottom after your description.
